23:52 - ApothecaryFast food workers planning a strike in support of $15/hour wages next month. I'm a tutor in a reading lab at a college and I don't even make that much, a bit of an overestimation of one's importance, don'tcha think?

Venomous Concept is every grindcore and crusty hardcore fan's dream come true as it boasts members who have been in such bands as Brutal Truth, Napalm Death, Fantomas, Melvins and Pain Killer. The very name of the band is a play on words of Poison Idea and indeed, the music on this disc often seems like a homage to that cult ultra-heavy hardcore group. Recorded in just two days in an amateur studio, it is pretty clear that the idea behind this album was not to be original or groundbreaking. Instead, the renowned musicians use it as a way to vent their anger concerning such topics as politics and the commercialization of punk rock, as well as an opportunity to play some seriously harsh old-school hardcore.
